Exercise 3 Build simple contact list:Append to contact_list array. What am i doing wrong?

This is the code that I presented on this exercise. I tested this on the threehouse console and it worked. However I am getting a message on the exercise, saying that I need to go back to exercise one. Does anyone know?

contact_list = []

def get_name() a = "Rafael" return a end

def get_phone_number answer = "7875258367" return answer end contact = {"name" => "", "phone_number" => "" } contact["name"] = get_name() contact["phone_number"] = get_phone_number()

contact_list.push(contact)

contact.rb 
contact_list = []

def get_name()
  a = "Rafael"
  return a
end

def get_phone_number
  answer = "7875258367"
  return answer
end
contact = {"name" => "", "phone_number" => "" }
contact["name"] = get_name()
contact["phone_number"] = get_phone_number()

contact_list.push(contact)

Hi Rafael,

I think, you have added alot of extra codes than the specific question. Just follow exactly what the challenge ask you to do without extra codes.

Hope that helps.
